Twelve functional areas.
Each vendor is mapped against 96 digital procurement capabilities, organised across twelve functional areas. Each disc shows how much of that area the vendor covers — a full disc is complete coverage, and where a vendor has no coverage in an area, no disc appears. Based on our proprietary DPG assessment framework.
Vendors built for the same thing, ranked by analyst recognition.
Vendors that have ended up built the same way, whatever they set out to be. Matched on the 96 capabilities.
